I'd be surprised to see a pilot endorse that

Developers are such on-the-spectrum nitpickers. I guess that is what makes them good at their jobs and such unenjoyable cocktail party companions.

  Says the one who managed to insult autistic people and engineers at the same time? Many of the best partiers I know are on the spectrum.

    You guys dress poorly too.

  Is it even a nitpick in this case? It would have been substantially more badass to die flying a jet at 90. If it's relevant to the point I don't see how it's a nitpick. Now picking on a particular model distinction or something like that I could get on board with.

    It depends on what you mean by “jet.” There’s no way he’d be allowed to fly a fighter jet or anything else with a turbojet engine at this point in his life. The medical waiver he was on wouldn’t allow it.

  so many fails in such a short response. Assuming someone's profession based on almost nothing, general stereotyping, armchair mental diagnosis, insult based on 'diagnosis' that's needless and honestly irrelevant. Reminds me of the common backhanded insult on reddit, "you must be a blast at parties" What kind of pilot would be taken seriously if they mix up such a basic aspect of professional knowledge? Jets and prop planes are very different beasts. I can't think of any job where you can just casually mix up different classes of objects and not eventually have it result in some significant failure. "Why did you feed the mules and not the horses?" "Don't be so autistic. I bet you're a blast a parties" "Why did you give me cheeseburgers? The customer ordered plain burgers." "Don't be so autistic. I bet you're a blast at parties" Yes, being specific about the things you work with is generally a sign that someone is good at their job, but it generally doesn't have much to do with autism. But I guess being condescending is what makes a good cocktail party companion?

  Some truth to this. But if it wasn't for that mindset you'd be having your cocktail party in a cave.
